It's the end of an era in Santa-

Rosa.
After managing to keep the hard
liquor genie in the bottle for decades
following the repeal of Prohibition, the
spirit escaped Tuesday night- allowing
Santa Rosa to join the ranks of 62
other "wet" counties in Florida. Not
just going wet, but allowing restau-
rants, bars, and package stores.
It was the eighth time since
Prohibition that Santa Rosa voters had
cast their wishes regarding the sale of
beverages harder than beer (6.243 per-
cent alcohol by volume). And for the
area's "wet" forces, the eighth time
was the charm.
Those hoping to see Santa Rosa
stay dry lost their battle Tuesday night,
29,353 to 21,507.
From, the pulpits, many area
preachers had been saying this might
be the year when a lifetime of battling
alcohol came to an end here. Even Joe
Bamburg, who led the charge to stay
dry in virtually every vote in recent
history was unsure prior to. Tuesday
night, saying he feared "this might be
the year."
As it turned out, Bamburg-and
other's-fears were well placed. As
Santa Rosa election officials began to,
tally the votes Tuesday night, it
became increasingly evident county
residents would, this time, opt to
embrace the sale of hard liquor.
The .most recent %ote took an
unusual tack. For the first time in local
history, the % eu/dry vote was conduct-
ed via mail. Many "wet" forces had

The Santa Rosa County
Sheriff's Office, in collabora-
tion with the Santa Rosa
County School District, has
begun a Buckle Up Campaign.
The program is designed to
promote the lifesaving benefits
of safety belt use among high
school students, officials say.
According to the
Department of Highway Safety
and Motor Vehicles, over 60%
of vehicle occupants killed dur-
ing .traffic crashes are not using
safety belts.
The Buckle Up Campaign
focuses sheriff's office

feared a traditional poll might affect
results-many of Santa Rosa's polling
places are inside churches. Some had
feared a handful of churches might
refuse their facilities for a vote of this
nature. Others feared residents might
not "vote their'conscience" if they had
to walk past pastors and deacons.
Officials were unwilling to Say
whether they believed the "vote from
home" process had contributed to the
tipping of the scales in favor of alco-
hol, but as the moon moved across the
skies Tuesday night and ballot after
ballot was opened and tabulated, the
results became more clear.
Many "wet" forces had cast their
lot with the belief that all the recent
growth in Santa Rosa had brought in
enough "ne\\ blood" to change the out-
come of the ballot. That belief may
have proved true.
South Santa Rosa remained a
stronghold for the wet forces and, as'
predicted, the hardest-fought battle
was in the north and central sections of
Santa Rosa, but in the end, the dry fac-
tions '.imply could not muster enough
votes to make it happen.
While, some dry force members
are already talking about another elec-
tion, Tuesday's vote puts the idea of a
drn Santa Rosa back on the shelf for at
least two years.
Under Florida law, wet/dry refer-
enda can only be held .every 24
months, but there is no record of a
Florida county returning to dry after
going wet so Tuesday's vote may have
far-reaching effects... ..
Conducting such an election
proves expensive-for all sides.

When will we learn?
Gas shortages, skyrocketing prices at the
pump and all the experts trying to blame hurri-
canes, SUVs and the lack of conservation are
wearing thin the patience of many.
Foreign and domestic oil companies are raking
in huge profits and all the political rhetoric from
environmentalists are only combining to com-
pound the frustrations all of us are experiencing.
Hurricane Ivan, which battered the oil rigs in
the Gulf of Mexico last September, has been
blamed for rising fuel costs. Those rigs and the
refinery in Lake Charles, La. are said to be respon-
sible for 10 percent of the United States fuel sup-
plies.
Hurricane Katrina is now being blamed for
even higher fuel costs to come which makes us
wonder just exactly why haven't measures been
taken to prevent this potential crisis.
For decades, political leaders from the state
level to Washington have folded to the pressures of
the environmentalists. These pressures. have
absolutely prevented the United States from ade-
quately dealing with the country's energy prob-
lems. We have become more and more dependent
upon foreign energy supplies-leaving all of us
more vulnerable to the problems we're now expe-
riencing.
Alternative fuel sources are certainly a priori-
ty, but the fact remains that adequate fossil fuels
are within our reach.
We have absolutely no one to blame other than
ourselves for our fuel situation and it has little to
do with the fact many of us drive SUVs.
Fuel economy has improved tremendously
over the past couple of decades due to serious
pressures and policies from Washington. Auto
manufacturers have met or exceeded tough federal
regulations-so much so that while the number of
vehicles traveling our highway has increased, the
consumption taxes are failing to meet our highway
needs.
A large portion of our national fuel shortage
problem stems from the fact that the United States
hasn't built a new refinery in over 30 years.
Because of the environmentalists, the United
States fails to look for new underground oil even
when locations for such searches have been repeat-
edly determined as environmentally sound.
We fail to allow for more safe and secure off-
shore oil exploration and the multitude of different
grades of fuel from one state to another makes it
impossible to make our gasoline affordable.
Demanding that the American buy small,
unsafe and powerless vehicles as an alternative to
meeting the demand of environmentalists is ridicu-
lous.
The sad result of what is occurring today is not
just higher prices at the pump. Individual budgets
are being squeezed simply to afford fuel.,
Transportation companies are being forced to
charge more to transport goods, which in turn will
result in higher prices for the products and food we
buy at the local grocery stores.
Heating costs will increase this winter due to
higher fuel prices, all of which will mean more of
our income going for fuel to operate our vehicles,
heat our homes and buy the food we need to live.
The sad part of all of this is it could have been
prevented-and still can-if the powers-to-be in
Washington would stop playing politics and bend-
ing to the pressures of the extreme-thinking envi-
ronmentalists.
When will we learn?

Nationally, the average per gallon price for regu-
lar gasoline is $2.50.
Are gasoline prices high? That's not the best way
to ask that question. It's akin to
asking, "Is Williams tall?" The
average height of U.S. women is
5'4", and for men, it's 5'10".
Being 6'4", I'd be tall relative to
the general U.S. population. But
put me on a basketball court,
next to the average NBA basket-
ball player, and I wouldn't be
tall; I'd be short. So when we ask
whether a price is high or low,
we have to ask relative to what.
In 1950, a gallon of regular
gasoline sold for about 30 cents; WALTER
today, it's $2.50. Are -today's WILLIAMS
gasoline prices high compared to
1950? Before answering that question, we have tb
take into account inflation that has occurred since
1950. Using my trusty inflation calculator
(www.westegg.com/inflation), what cost 30 cents in
1950 costs $2.33 in 2005. In real terms, that means
gasoline prices today are only slightly higher, about 8
percent, than they were in 1950. Up until the recent
spike, gasoline prices have been considerably lower
than 1950 prices.
Some Americans ,are demanding that the govern-.
ment do something about gasoline prices. Let's think
back to 1979 when the government did do something.
The Carter administration instituted price controls.
What did we see? We saw long gasoline lines, and
that's if the gas station hadn't run out of gas. It's esti-
mated that Americans used about 150,000 barrels of
oil per day idling their cars while waiting in line. In an
effort to deal with long lines, the Carter administra-
tion introduced the harebrained scheme of odd and
even days, whereby a motorist whose license tag start-
ed with an odd number could fill up on odd-numbered
days, and those with :an even number on even-num-

bered days.

Are we really still in Iraq?

FM: W.O. JONES
Dear Editor:
Is it possible the United States is still in Iraq, los-
ing two of our young people every day on average and
an average of 14-plus getting wounded every day and
spending some $23 million a day of your young chil-
dren's future on the following?
Because the some 45% of citizens believe blindly
in their earthly God figure and his cronies/Cabal and

With the recent spike in gas prices, the govern-
ment has chosen not to.pursue stupid policies of the
past. As a result, we haven't seen shortages. We
haven't seen long lines. We haven't seen gasoline sta-
tion fights and riots. Why? Because price has been.
allowed to perform its valuable function that of
equating demand with supply.
Our true supply problem is of our own doing.
Large quantities of oil lie below the 20 million acre
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). The
amount of land proposed for oil drilling is less than
2,000 acres, less than one-half of one percent of
ANWR. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates there
are about 10 billion barrels of recoverable oil in
ANWR. But environmentalists' hold on Congress has
prevented us from drilling for it. They've also had
success in restricting drilling in the Gulf of Mexico
and off the shore of California. Another part of our
energy problem has to do with refining capacity.
Again, because, of environmentalists' successful
efforts, it's been 30 years since we've built a new oil
refinery.
Few people realize that the U.S. is also a major
oil-producing country. After Saudi Arabia, producing
10.4 million barrels a day, then Russia with 9.4 mil-
lion barrels, the U.S. with 8.7 million barrels a day is
the third-largest producer of oil. But we could pro-
duce more. Why aren't we? Producers have a variety
of techniques to win monopoly power and higher.
profits that come with that power. What's a way for
OPEC to gain more power? I have a hypothesis, for
which I have no evidence, but it ought to be tested.,If.
I were an OPEC big cheese, I'd easily conclude that I
could restrict output and charge higher oil prices if,
somehow U.S. oil drilling were restricted. I'd see U.S.
environmental groups as allies, and I would make
"charitable" contributions to assist their efforts to
reduce U.S. output. Again, I have no evidence, but it's
a hypothesis worth examination.

SFuel shortages lead to finger-pointing

By DEBORAH NELSON
Press Gazette Staff Writer

"The level of gasoline

: enough to avoid the return of

ruption of flow...draws the
inventory down."
"The Solutions Needed to

Skyrocketing pump
prices- whose fault are they
anyway?
Don't blame OPEC, says
California-based' think tank
Foundation for Taxpayer and
Consumer Rights (FTCR).
While all eyes turn toward
global oil costs to explain pump
increases, FTCR points to caus-
Ses closer to home...what they
J term "manufactured shortages,"
engineered by petroleum corpo-

That's according to a just-

Study author Tim

Hamilton, a petroleum industry
consultant, says public data
shows the costs of producing
crude oil, refining gasoline and

products to market have not
"substantively" increased
between 2000 and 2005.
Refiner profit margins,
however, increased 61 cents per
gallon between January and
April of this year, alone-
according to the study data.
At press time, gasoline in
central Santa Rosa County was
running close to $3 a gallon.
Gas throughout the area is
up from Monday, when. Gulf
Coast regular grade gasoline
averaged about $2.53 per gal-
lon, according to the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE).
Gas prices are expected to
keep rising as Katrina's impact
on refineries makes a dent in
production.
Crude oil prices tipped to
$71 per barrel in Katrina's
wake, but now stand at about
$69.
The cost of crude (per 2003
figures) contributes about 44
percent toward gasoline's final
pump price, according to DOE
figures.
Add to that the cost of refin-
ing oil into gasoline, plus prof-
its (15% of the pump price) and

distribution, marketing and
service station costs (14% of
pump prices).
On top of that, don't forget
federal, state and local taxes,
which add another 27% to
gasoline's total retail cost.
If crude accounts for under
half of gas costs, what's driving
prices up?
Blame OPEC, environmen-
talists, increased demand, gov-
ernment regulation, a shortage
of refineries and frivolous law-
suits, say petroleum industry
executives.
No, blame profiteering
petroleum corporations, coun-
ters the FTCR.
Domestic refiners have
deliberately kept gasoline
inventories low to artificially
reduce supply, FTCR alleges,
and drive prices up.
The group has studied gas
prices in California and the
midwest.
"Instead of refineries com-
peting with one another by cre-
ating more supply, they all
work together to restrict supply
so they all profit wildly," FTCR
sources contend.
A shortage of refineries, the
group says, is what keeps prices
from being competitive-and
suggests the petroleum industry
has a vested interest in mini-

i and suggest people consider
measures like carpooling to
.j deal with the gasoline crisis.
I "Just try to help each other
out...there is gas out there,"
says Commissioner Bob Cole.
Meanwhile,.county officials
say they're studying ways to
conserve fuel.
Possible measures include
carpooling, consolidating
departmental travel, and even
moving to a four-day work
week.
Escambia County recently
moved some of its functions to
a four-day week.
Officials note that some
Santa Rosa government -func-'
tions have already been stream-
linted-such as multiple build-
ing inspections by cross-
licensed personnel.
Diesel shortages, however,
could hamper recovery efforts.
That includes debris removal,
as well as new construction and
associated inspection functions.
"The ripple effect of not
having diesel is very signifi-
cant," says Goodin.

Nevertheless, officials say
they'll be hesitant to :slow
cleanup and other public works
functions.
"There's a lot of folks who
are just on the verge of getting
their homes repaired and get-
ting back into them," notes
Goodin. "...I don't think we'll
be doing them any favors by
(slowing) the Road and Bridge
Department."
Santa Rosa leaders say
they're in constant contact with
state officials about the crisis'
and the word is gas will soon be
forthcoming.
Santa Rosa County school
officials are also trying to be as
optimistic as possible. :
Authorities sam there is cur-
rentlyI 10-ay'upply'o' ha'd!
,Beyond that, they say, Laidlaw,
the private firm that handles
transportation for the Santa
Rosa School System, has "con-
nections" for additional fuel.
Meanwhile, Santa Rosa
Sheriff Wendell Hall has issued
a memo to his staff, asking all
employees to conserve as much
' as,possible.
Officials say there are no

plans to curtail patrols or other-
wise cutback on the level of
service to Santa Rosa residents.

ing refineries.
FTCR alleges further that
petroleum corporations slow
production by planning "rou-
tine maintenance" and other
breaks during peak summer
demand period, in order to drive
profits up.
Just prior to Katrina, an
ABC News report cited 14
refinery outages since'July 20.
FTCR challenged a refinery
shutdown in California last
year, and won.
Pressure from California's
Attorney General and

Cheri Kaniper is teaching Spanish I and fl and she is
also sponsor of the Spanish club. Mrs. Karnper is an
\ alumna of Milton High School. "I just always liked

"I'm about to be divorced
and, Chief, will my TRI-
CARE health insurance con-
tinue? We've been married
24 years."
This question is a little out
of my area, but, I'll do my best.
After your divorce, you must
remain single because when
you re-marry TRICARE stops
unless you marry another
retiree or 100% disabled veter-
an. Now, if your marriage was
to the same spouse for 20 or.
more years and your spouse
was on active duty for all of
those 20 or more years, your
TRICARE will continue
unchanged. If your marriage
was only 15 to 20 years of your
spouse's active duty time then.
your TRICARE will stop one
year following the divorce
date. Last, if your marriage to
the retiree is less than 15 years
or the active duty time then
your TRICARE stops the date
the divorce is final.

"Chief, my husband, the
veteran, died after we had
been married only seven
months. Will I receive VA
death benefits?"

I'm very sorry for your
recent loss and please accept
my heart-felt sympathy. To
your question. Federal Law
(VA) states that the spouse and
veteran must have been mar-
ried for one year or a child
bom of the marriage before the
surviving spouse is eligible for
death benefits (38 CFR 3.52).
This Section of the Law is a
carry-over from the Civil War.
In the early 1900s 'a lot of
young ladies were marrying
the old Civil War coots to get
an income when he died. U.S.
Congress added this piece of
legislation to the Bureau of"
Pensions (Sherwood Act of
1912) after a large number of
families complained. A bit of
history, the Bureau of Pensions
became the Veterans' Bureau
in 1921, which became the
Veterans Administration in
1930 and finally the
" Department of Veterans Affairs
in 1988.

Dear Pastor Gallups, "Does the passage about the rich young
ruler teach that Jesus expects His followers to give up all of
their possessions to follow Him?" J. S., Milton
Dear J.S.,
It's true that Jesus told the rich young ruler to give up his
wealth and follow Him. Jesus also said a few short verses later,
"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than
for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." This was not a
blanket condemnation of wealth or a statement that somehow
the young man could "earn" his salvation.
Consider the other times that Jesus didn't rebuke friends
who owned property or command them to sell their homes and
businesses. In fact, He often ate with people and stayed at their
homes. Friends like Mary and Martha or Lazarus were certain-
ly not poor. He was even buried in the new and extravagant
tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy member of the
Sanhedrin Council.
So why, then, did Jesus demand such a strict requirement for
this particular young man? The answer is simple and very rel-
evant to our lives. Jesus knew the young man's heart. He knew
that he was looking for a way to earn his salvation on his own
terms.
He may have thought that Jesus would give him a specific
task or good deed to perform that would win eternal life, one
that wouldn't require him to humble himself and uncondition-
ally set his life under the authority of Christ. Instead, Jesus set
up a requirement that clearly illustrated the basic issue: the rich
young man's desire to retain control of his life. His riches were
more important than securing a personal, saving relationship
with and through Jesus Christ.
Jesus wasn't implying that salvation could actually be
earned by good deeds. Even if the rich young ruler would'have
given away his riches and followed Jesus, he wouldn't have
"earned" his salvation. However, if he had done so, he would
have surrendered his desire to be "Lord" of his own life and
acknowledged God's authority over his life.
Jesus felt compassion for this young man. But because He
knew that the ruler was seeking to manipulate God, He had no
choice but to send him away with a clear awareness- of his spir-
itual failure.

game at Milton High School.

Milton is a place where
everybody knows your name.
And that sentiment could
not be any stronger than for
Rod Walker, Lawrence Tynes,
and Elisha Williams...all three
former Milton High School ath-
letes and the newest members
to the Milton Athletic Hall of
Fame.
"It is very different out
there," said Williams after the
ceremony. "When you are on
the circuit and hot people know
who you are.
"But here, at home, they
know who you are and getting
this honor, I hope, will be an
inspiration to their kids yet to
come to Milton."
For all involved, a former
pro-football player, a proud
father, and a world-class long
jumper, there was something

special about Friday night and
being honored by their former
high school.
"This is a feeling like I have
never had before," said Walker,
who now is a volunteer coach
with the ninth grade football
team at MHS.
Walker, who was a member
of the Tennessee Titans when
they played in Super Bowl
XXXIV against the St. Louis
Rams, was amazed by the
moment.
"Going to the Super Bowl
is a whole different feeling,"
admitted Walker. "But this is a
feeling you might be able to
compare it to."
As Milton principal Lewis
Lynn and Quarterback Club
President David Beach present-
ed each inductee with a certifi-
cate and plaque, Milton High
fans were reminded of the
three's athletic accomplish-

ments. -
But one of the largest
smiles belonged to Lawrence
Tynes' father, Larry.
"Lawrence wanted to be
here," said Larry who was grin-
ning from ear to ear. "We talked
on the phone and he told me
that he is very humbled by this
honor.
"And quickly admits that.
none of this could have been
possible if Coach Mac (Mike
McMillion) had not found him
on the soccer fields."
Tynes was unable to attend.
He was playing in a pre-season
game Friday for the Kansas
City Chiefs in a battle for the
Missouri Governor's Cup
against the St. Louis Rams.
St. Louis won the game 27-
23 despite the efforts of Tynes
who accounted for 11 of
Kansas City's points.

Milton wins an

ugly affair 10-0

By BILL GAMBLING
PG Sports Editor

To some, the game might
not have been very pretty, but a
win is -a win nevertheless.
Milton evened its record
Friday with a 10-0 win over the
visiting Jaguars of West Florida
Tech.
Overall, the defensive
effort of the Panthers was
something as the\ held the %is-
itors to just 37 yard- offensive-
ly .
"It was ugly, but it was a
win," said Milton head coach
Mike McMillion after the
game. "Tonight. our defense
really hustled.
"They gave us a maximum
effort against what was a very
potent attack."
The attack which
McMillion feared only crossed
the Panthers (1-1) twice during
the first half, but could get no
farther than the Milton 32
where they ran out of time in
the first half.
The other venture into
Panther territory ended on the
Milton 42 when they turned the
ball o\er on downs.
In the beginning of the
game, Milton stood on its side
of the field just for the opening
kickoff as it forced West
Florida Tech (0-2) to punt.
After taking over on the
Jags' 46-yard line, the combi-

nation of Kyle Conrad, Emery
Allen and Dustin Land moved
the ball down field until the
drive stalled at the 21-yard line.
Zach Lowe was then called
upon to kick a 38-yard field
goal, which was low, but split
the uprights to give Milton a 3-
0 lead with 5:55 left in the first
quarter.
Before Lowe was needed to
kick the field, goal. Milton's
Victor Wiley saved the drine as
he fell on a loose football.
On its second possession of
the, game, Milton took the ball
from the Jags' 35, but could not
punch it in after getting as far
as West Florida's four-yard
line.
Conrad was tackled for a
two-yard loss when he was
given the ball on a fourth-and-
goal situation at the Jags', two.
"Tonight, we were a deci-
sion or two from a much better
result," said McMillion. "The
effort and enthusiasm is there.
We are upbeat' and will contin-
ue to improve as a ball club."
Just before halftime, it
appeared West Florida had
found something as Trace
Whitman found his target in the
form of Trent Ciccone who he
found four times during the
drive for 40 yards.
But Whitman was having
problems with Panther defend-
ers' who stopped him 10 times

Milton quarterback Dustin Land is seen scampering for the endzone during the third quarter as the
Panthers defeated West Florida Tech 10-0 in a game which saw both teams struggle at times while the
Milton defense held the Jaguars to just 37 yards of total offense on the night.

for a negative 23 yards.
After halftime, both teams
exchanged possession of the
football without any major
excitement until a Jaguar'punt
gave Milton the ball at the WFT
32.
That's when Land called
his own number in the huddle
and scampered around the left
side of the line 32 yards for a

Volleyball

off to a

touchdown with 1:13 remaining
in the third quarter to ice the
game.
Land led the Panthers with
59 yards on 11 carries followed
by Allen who had, 49 yards on
13 touches and Maurice Lantry
who had 29 yards on three car-
ries late in the game.
In all, Milton used nine ball
carriers as it rushed for 197

yards on 49 carries.
Through the air, Land went
five-of-11 for 55 yards.
Friday, the Panthers will
visit Pine Forest High which is
2-0 on the season after defeat-
ing Choctaw 18-13 last Friday.

Pats toe one past

G ulf Breeze 33-30

slow start

By Ron Strickland
Press Gazette Correspondent

PG Sports Editor

- It has been an "interesting"
start to the 2005 volleyball sea-
son.
Pace, without a home floor,
defeated Tate Thursday 25-19,
25-27, 25-17, 21-25, and 15-11
in the tiebreaker.
For Milton its Thursday
game was for not as the team is
yet to play its first varsity
match.
"We confirmed with the
assigning secretary about
tonight's game," said Milton.
coach Laurie Anderson. "I
don't know why they weren't
here."
Conversations with Milton
athletic director Murray
Rutledge and Principal Lewis
Lynn revealed that one official
ran out of gas on the way to the
contest, while the other one
could not be reached on their
cell phone.

Pace quarterback Chris Sorce is seen running over a defender during
the opening game of the season when the Patriots defeated Ft
Walton Beach 21-14.
Press Gazette photo by Bill Gamblin

For the past two seasons,
close games were the norm for
the Pace High School Patriots
(2-0).
And Friday night's 33-30
victory over county rival Gulf
Breeze was no exception.
Patriot kicker Ryan Strang
trotted onto the field with 4:02
left in the game and split the
uprights with a line drive tipped
at the line of scrimmage to give
Pace the lead and the final mar-
gin of victory.
The field goal capped a 63-
yard, 3:52 second drive high-
lighted by a 20-yard run off
right tackle by Bear Comer. The
shifty junior tailback scatted
through the line of scrimmage'
only to have the ball stripped by
a Gulf Breeze linebacker.
Comer, however, simply picked
the ball off the ground and out-
ran the Dolphin second line of
defense before the GBHS sec-
ondary made the tackle.

Chris Sorce later connected
on third down and 12 yards-to-
go with Matt Lewis on a hook
pattern to put the ball at the 19-
yard line.
And then the kick.
"That's what you do it for,"
Pace head coach Mickey
Lindsay said of Strang's big
kick. "(Strang) put it right
through there. It shows a lot
about the kid since he didn't
kick a ball all last year."
The comeback victory
marked the second time in as
many games the Patriots have
mounted a furious second half
rally to win.
Last week, the defense
ripped off two safeties to secure
a 21-14 win over Ft. Walton
Beach.
The Patriots feel behind
early as Gulf Breeze junior
quarterback and four-year
starter Brad McGuire marched
the Dolphins to the Pace 5-yard
line before settling for a 23 yard

field goal at the 5:38 mark in
the first half.
Strang answered for PHS
with the first of his two field
goals, a 35-yarder with plenty
of room to spare.
On their next possession,
the Dolphins took advantage
of a 15-yard personal foul and
a 55-yard run by fullback Josh
Hurd to put the ball on the

Pace five-yard line. Three
plays later, Ben Ganus
punched it in. GBHS missed
the two-point conversion
attempt, making the score 9-3
with 9:47 left in the first half.
Pace answered with an
eight-play, 80-yard drive to
take the lead, 10-9.
And then the Dolphins
caught fire.
Junior receiver Doug

Baldwin took the kick-off up
the middle before busting out
to the right sideline and out-
running the Pace return team
90-yards for a score. Gulf
Breeze again failed to convert
the extra-point making the
score 16-10.
GBHS scored on its next
possession as well as McGuire
connected on two long pass
plays. Hurd finished the 82-

yard drive with, a. single yard
plunge. This time, the
Dolphins converted the extra
point making the ,core 22-10.
"(The Patriots.i could hate
folded the tent tonight."
Lindsay said of his football
team and thel2-poiht second-
half comeback. "But our kids
showed a lot of heart, they are
good kids."
,Pace started its comeback

off. Defensive back Eric Lane

line.

It appears the football con-
test was an eas week w ith two
perfect cards turned in.
Yes, yet again it came down
to the tiebreaker to decide this
week's winner and who would'
walk a a. w ith a $50 prize.
Sharon Taylor and Jerry
Miller both turned in perfect
cards.
After press time last. week,
a decision was made to cancel
the Southern Miss/Tulane con-
test so everyone was credited
with a correct pick.,
The difference? Taylor
picked the point total between-
Penn State and South Florida to
be 35 points while Miller went
for 42.
Penn State defeated South
Florida 23-13 gi ing a total of
36 points and making Taylor
the winner.
Several cards went 9-1 this
week meaning there were sev-
eral easy games in college fdot-

yard ramble over left tackle
and a converted two-point con-
version to Baldwin with 8:02
left on the clock.
And four minutes later,
Strang stepped on the field to
put the final nail in the
Dolphins' coffin..
The Patriots were led in
rushing by Patrick with 57
,yards and three touchdowns,
the longest of which came
from 18 yards out.
Pace will host Woodham
High School this Friday. The
Titans (1-1) lost to Crestview
last week 9-7.
